note, this dump is from "Ubuntu Classic"; I get something similar if I run in Unity mode, but the profile says Unity.

I should also say that it looks like Unity will load, but will hang up the display after. For example, I'll see the drop shadows on the windows, the cursor will change if I'm hovering over a window border or something, but nothing on the UI will update. I can manage to click on my Terminal shortcut and type sudo reboot and it will reboot, so it's just the GUI that's crashing.

I don't know about Quadro NVS 110M, but GeForce Go 7300/7400 are known to have problem with Compiz/Unity in 11.04. The crash/freeze/no-feedback happens with the recommended proprietary (nvidia-current) driver installed, but nvidia-173, a legacy driver works well, at least for some. There are multiple bug reports on launchpad.net, but no fix yet.

In short, it you want to run Compiz/Unity, try removing nvidia-current and install nvidia-173.
